The reason behind my last emails
|
It’s simple. ​ I’ve shown you how smart people can make stupid mistakes. How costly they are. How amazingly common they are. ​ The wrong team, the wrong assumptions, the wrong risks transferred. Simple. Foreseeable. Evitable. ​ But… ​ You see them over, and over again. ​ You and I as taxpayers pay the price. ​ And if you work in infrastructure… and you are in these “saraos” (projects), you can pay an even higher price. ​ Endless nights without sleeping, hours and hours wasted in never-ending meetings, irrespirable ambiance at work, having to go to the toilet with a lawyer next to you, demotions, bye, bye bonuses, and much more. ​ Not worthy to be there. Not worthy to make those evitable mistakes. ​ So, next week I’m doubling the price of my reflections about my last project, Puhoi to Warkworth highway, that you have below. There is too much value there, and the price is a joke. Compare it to the value of those lessons and what you can get from them. I know it, people that have bought know it, and even some of you have written to tell me just that. ​ So, if you were hesitant, now it’s the moment. Tomorrow, it will be also a great moment. You’ll just be paying more.

“When you understand that every opinion is a vision loaded with personal history, you will begin to understand that all judgment is a confession.” – Nikola Tesla Note that sentence. Do it by hand. Yes, in a piece of paper. Have it next to your screen, desk, or whatever. Read it every day. and every time a stupid shows you his stupidity through his month. If that sentence does not make you jump out of your chair to do something productive... you simply have no blood in your veins. That's all...
PPP = Prolonged, Painful, and Pointless. But not this time. Somehow, against all odds, cultures, and acronyms… The New Royal Adelaide Hospital in South Australia didn’t just avoid disaster — it delivered. Let me break it down for you: Australia’s most expensive hospital project at the time. $2.3 billion AUD. A maze of private, public, and clinical stakeholders. 800 beds. 40 operating theatres. 100% public access. The predictions? “Too complex.” “Healthcare PPPs always end in tears.” “Get...
Let me tell you a bedtime story. It’s about a classic PPP project. However, it’s a bedtime story for the nightmares. It starts in Australia. Sunshine. Kangaroos. And a bunch of brilliant bureaucrats who thought they could outsmart the laws of project finance. The name? Airport Link Tunnel in Brisbane.The year? 2010.The cost? $4.8 billion AUD.The outcome? A flaming, billion-dollar disaster. You see, they had a vision. A tunnel linking Brisbane Airport with the city. As I said… A classic PPP....
